Challenge of leadership will prevent re-election of main political parties– Skelton-Cline
“One of the main reasons why I believe the people of this country, humbly are not going to wholeheartedly vote any of these parties into power, the main parties, is because of the leadership that has presented itself,” he said on the Tuesday, November 22, 2022, edition of his Honestly Speaking show on ZBVI 780am.
“I think we have a challenge of leadership in this county, but it’s not unique to this country… because I think they got the same problem in the USA, UK,” he added.
Skelton-Cline added that the leadership issues in the VI are related to the persons who sit directly at the helm of the party.
“We are facing an issue of leadership in this country and specifically who sits at the head of these tickets, because the truth of the matter is that is how a party succeeds or not,” he added.
More new people in Leadership
Skelton-Cline said as such, more persons need to be recruited for leadership positions, such as Chief Justice of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC) Dame Janice M. Pereira.
He said Justice Pereira has the characteristics and qualities of a good leader, including someone with vision, not beholding to class, political groups, corporate allegiance, and more.
Further, Skelton-Cline named the Director of the Virgin Islands Water & Sewage Department (W&SD), Mrs Perline Scatiffe-Leonard, as another possible leader in the VI.
“This woman has risen to the top even after being adversely put in a situation [that] was outside of her sphere and in spite of it [she] has been able to do some amazing things,” he added.

A++ call the way
your answer is on point
who vex vex
crime is up in the territory had the head of law enforcement been locals we might even had another commission of inquiry
it is shameful but when you ask questions on given matters some among us suddenly assume we have an issue
You is an @$$***£
It is amazing how the bias, racist and trash news site bvi news on line and their few bloggers who blog over and over and over again has pronounced Myron innocent until proven guilty but pronouncing fahie guilty with no chance of being innocent. A set of hypocrites.
Myron case is tight becuse we the people knew what went down with the wall we know nothing about fahie and the set up operations so mark my words cry for funny man not the boxn bummer
1) Give us an At Large system that never worked anywhere but they implemented it in the BVI knowing it is a failure but make us accept it without a choice and have us fighting over it to this day hoping we fail.
2) A loan guarantee, not a loan nor a grant, in time of need after the worse hurricane in the world their help to us is a loan guarantee with conditions that were geared to enslave us to take us over while we were vulnerable. While giving other islands grant.
3) Send ships with body bags to help us after Irma thinking the worse for us as usual.
4) Allow the public service under the Governor to fail hoping that the country will fail and then today turn around and blame the elected government for their failure.
5) Help build prisons but never help build schools.
6) Make us feel as if they really care about us and have some of us believing this and now have us, once again, divided so they can have an easier time trying to take us over as we have been made to believe that we can do nothing good and whatever happens to us by them is our fault as we left them no choice.
7) Try to kill our financial services industry and our country by putting the EU and using another order in council as their front and demanding we make beneficial ownership public although the courts now rule in the same position the BVI has been taking but what they want they want, and they are above the law. However, they insist that we must not do what they do but follow the law or they will deal with us.
8) In the middle of the worse pandemic in over 100 years give us a COI while we and our economy were dying where they hired the Commissioner, paid him, called it transparent, used the same staff from their organization to assist the commissioner, used no transparent process in the entire set up and process including the selection of the Commissioner for the COI, get a report saying what they were saying before the COI started(who pays the piper calls the tune), issued an order in council to suspend the constitution if the measures from their apparent pre-authored one man COI is not implemented and call this democracy and good governance while the biggest failure was all the subjects under the governor and police but they get to tell and validate their own story and get to fix their major issues and lack of transparency themselves without consequences. Now, most likely left the country to plan the next move in a time when we are recognizing an important time in our history, but the elites see nothing wrong with this picture. Yes, I agree we have to make some adjustments, but we have done well in the BVI and need to stop letting these people make us think differently because they are worse than us if you examine them, but they can look into us, but we cannot look into them.
